About our wedding paella catering in Park Royal

A wedding paella is food and entertainment at once. Guests wander over to watch while the photos are taken, and the meal arrives hot and generous. We cook canapé tapas, evening paella and table tapas, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and civil partnerships and vow renewals.

London weddings around Park Royal frequently mean a ceremony at a church or register office, then a reception at a hired venue or a family garden. Paella suits either, given a ventilated cooking spot. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.

How it works

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up the cooking area and get the stock going. Guests generally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape. At midsummer, sunset in Park Royal is about 9:20pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, guest numbers and how you picture the day.
  2. Together we plan each course and confirm the price.
  3. Timings are agreed with you and the venue, around speeches and photos.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve every course on cue.
  5. We clear our cooking area, and staff stay as agreed.

Before we arrive

  • Name one person we can ask on the day
  • Have a gazebo or cover ready if rain is likely
  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot

Is live paella right for your wedding?

Live paella is less formal than a plated meal, but with the right extras it feels just as special. Larger events typically cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What you get with us

  • Served hot, straight from the pan
  • Food that becomes part of the entertainment
  • Crockery and waiting staff if you need them
  • Everything cooked fresh at your event

See Our pricing Or The cost guide.

Dietary needs and planning tips

We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Let us know about meals for your band or photographer
  • Confirm the venue’s catering rules early
  • Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
  • Ask about your date as soon as you have one

We keep in touch with your venue coordinator or toastmaster on the day, so you can enjoy yourselves.

Canapé tapas with the drinks reception keep guests going during photos.

How we price wedding paella catering

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Whether you need crockery
  • Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
  • How many courses
  • Your choice of paellas

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

Not sure what you need yet? No problem: give us the basics about your wedding, and we will make suggestions. To start, fill in our quote form.

What we need at the venue

We’ll be honest if a space will not work, and help find another spot. The main points are:

  • The venue’s permission for live cooking
  • Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
  • A cooking spot outside the marquee, not inside it

As a London location, Park Royal is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
